I'm indebted to JAP for some of those summaries, I've completely lost my way with the Molisons but when you put up the items we're looking for like you do it makes it a whole lot easier.  I'll just search some and you fit them together.  None of those listed seem to be appearing in either 1891 or 1901 in England.

Now I have an Annie Molison but she doesn't seem to be the one in the last list who should be about 29/30 ish.

1891 RG12 1893 Chard Folio 4 page 1

Annie Gawler married Charles John Molison Sept qtr 1886 Chard Somerset 5c 578
Annie Edith G Molison born Sept qtr 1887 Bristol 6a 41
Charles John Molison died March qtr 1890 age 39 Barton Regis Gloucestershire 6a 82

The following are the names of every Molison with an exact spelling in the 1891 and 1901, we may have them so I'm not going to give each entry, just list them.  If somebody can tell me which we need then I'll get the information.

I've updated the summaries for the ROBERTSON, MOLISON and MUIR families at http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,62822.0.html

All new info is in green.

I'll add a summary for the Ewings asap, but probably not before tomorrow, as I'm singing in a concert this evening.

Good hunting!

MR - don't know how you have managed to keep those summaries up to date - they are brilliant!

CatOne - I'm only here for the headlines  , so you won't get me websiting this (not so) little lot (I'm struggling with my own tree - couldn't handle a whole forest!) 

If the information sits here on Rootschat it will continue to appear on Google searches - its amazing how many times this thread is already coming up tops for searches on these families!

Just remember folks, it was 12 days into the April Challenge before Malcom found us.  Fingers crossed that someone searching one of these lines finds us before the end of the month!

cheers

Hi all,

Did a look up for someone today in the local reference library, just been reading through the copy and the name Robertson flew out at me - they get everywhere 

Gloucester Journal 1st June 1918
     
     Decorated by the King

              Lieut. Donald Stewart Robertson, South Lancashire Regiment, attached to the Royal Flying Corps, who received the Military Cross.  He is the son of the Rev. S. Richmond Robertson, St. Catherine's Vicarage, Gloucester.

Wonder if he is a relation of one of our Robertson's ?

Samuel Richmond Robertson married (I think as only two names transcribed) Parnel Agnes Harris in June qtr 1882 Monmouth 11a 55

Parnel was born about 1858 in Staunton Gloucester, father Samuel Eli Harris a 40 year old widower in 1871, farmer of 115 acres, brothers and sisters Frances Elizabeth, James Hammond, Jane Ada, Samuel Alic, Anthony Hammond and grandparents James and Jane Harris.  (Also at the farm was a James Hammond Unm 82 year old Clergyman without cure of souls, born London, Westbach Street)

Sounds an interesting family, but don't know if there's a connection, is it worth following?  Still looking for a clergyman Samuel Richmond Robertson.

Mary

Found the Rev. Samuel R. Robertson b 1857 Ellastone, Staffs.

1901 RG13/2425  Folio 81 page 37

( don't tell Paul, the Rev. also had a son called Claud  )

Rev. Samuel R Robertson son of Samuel Robertson 1818 Perth
                                                    Ellen Robertson  1814 Perth

May not be one of ours will do some more digging 

Susan

[MaryA]

Susan, I was just about to post that when yours popped up, I decided NOT to dig any more as soon as I saw CLAUDE!!! 

Don't want to clutter up new postings in case it's all irrelevant.

1923 Samuel Richmond Robertson was Rector at St Michael & all Angels, Withington, Gloucestershire, the next entry is 1926 so perhaps he was there 3 years.

Just a thought that occured to me today:
We have Molisons/Davidsons in North east Scotland in 1800s and we've now got Molisons on Isle of Wight in late 1800s ....  of course both areas must have been fashionable amongst the aspiring upper middle classes due to a certain Victoria's love of Deeside and IOW.
